Hundreds gathered Tuesday for the Moscow funeral of Daria Dugina, the daughter of a prominent ultranationalist intellectual who was killed in a car bombing that Russia blames on Ukraine.
Alexander Dugin — a vocal supporter of the Kremlin’s military campaign who has claimed to be close to President Vladimir Putin — may have been the intended target of the attack that killed his 29-year-old daughter.
Ukraine denies any involvement.
Mourners — many carrying flowers — paid their respects to Dugina at a hall in Moscow’s Ostankino TV center where her black-and-white portrait was displayed over an open casket.
Dugin and his wife, both dressed in black, sat next to their daughter’s coffin.
“She died for the people, for Russia, at the front. The front — it is here,” Dugin said at the start of the ceremony.–AFP
